User Reviews

Users praise the add-on for being simple, functional, and useful—especially for multi-tab scenarios and its regex-based renaming with a keyboard shortcut. However, reliability is inconsistent: names can revert and renaming may fail across domains or after reload. Firefox-specific issues (no icon/blocked usage) reduce usability. A common request is to add right-click/context-menu renaming for easier access, indicating important UX gaps alongside the persistence/context limitations.

Pros

Simple and functional
Reliable and generally works well (works perfectly in many cases)
Useful for managing multiple tabs from the same domain
Regex-based renaming adds power to the feature
Keyboard shortcut support improves usability

Cons

Names sometimes revert to defaults / do not persist after interaction
Doesn’t rename across domains or after page reload / limited in certain contexts
Firefox-related accessibility issues (no extension icon or blocked usage) hindering use
Lack of right-click/context-menu renaming feature; requests for easier access

Recent reviews

Works on my machine as of 2026-04-20 and FF 149.0 on linux (did not test everything). Also I had a look through the source code in the assets; looks legit, small and simple. Good work :-)

The tab name changes back to the default tab name after you interact with the page.

Is Rename Tab Title Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Rename Tab Title requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
